The drama continues for Terrence Howard and his ex-wife Michelle Ghent. The actor’s ex has reportedly accused him of beating her during a recent vacation in Costa Rica, after they had a major argument.

Terrence, though, has a different story to tell. He’s claimed that Michelle is the one who started the violence when she maced him, his daughter, and another family member.
